Amongst other vehicles, I had a Renault Avantime which I kept for many years ...... it was definitely a bit different to the run of the mill saloon and always provoked some conversation !!

So the Avantime owners club forum ran a thread just like this one.... "What other cars do you have??" and inevitably there was a string of posts of people who had had many and varied exotic cars etc.. then one chap posted a photo of his second car and it blew all the previous posts into the weeds, it was one of these.... !!!!!

A Judge Dredd Land Rover





No one could compete with that !!!

I would like to say my favourite was the cupra, which was a great car (@Sabre same engine as your golf I believe) but I think the second mondeo was actually the best, heated and cooled leather and alcantara seats, massive inside, basically the same as the first mondeo but it didn’t breakdown all the time.

T6 camper is on a different level!
